10 Casual Games to Release Stress and Combat Boredom

Candy Crush has always taken the lead in the most downloaded casual game. However, we think it’s time to shine a light on some other games that are just as good. Casual games are a great way to ease into gaming as a beginner or to play without any real commitment.

Firstly, we have Trivia Royale on our list of casual games to release stress and combat boredom.

Trivia Royale is a great game for absolutely anyone, whether you actually like trivia games or not. The reason for this is due to how short the matches are. It’s so hard to get bored because things are constantly moving along. The Battle Royale mode adds another level of competition to the game along with adding your friends and battling them. It’s a great game for those looking for something a bit different!

Both of the Best Fiends games are addictive beyond belief. Our personal favorite has to be the OG Best Fiends, however, both focus on eliminating the slugs through match-3 levels. If you’re looking for something with relaxing music, cute graphics, and fun gameplay – you’re in the right place.

Dumb Ways to Dash is the best game out of the Dumb Ways series because of the fun obstacles and graphics available. The only unfortunate part is that it’s not a multiplayer game so you’re always playing with bots. However, it’s great to relieve boredom.

Lastly, we have Cooking Craze. Restaurant games are always great for any level of gamers as they don’t require much skill apart from the use of your brain – and everyone has one of those! In this game, you need to make sure you can keep up with everyone’s orders in the time limit without burning or trashing anything. We personally love it and will always go back to it when we’re bored.
